So, what does this mean for the church?

First, we cannot hold onto traditional methods of communication. I know if is so cliched and overplayed, but we cannot be married to methods. Too often I hear, "we can't do it that way, because [fill in the blank with appropriate minority of staunch opponents to progress] won't buy into that." Life and all that is good is quickly leaving them behind. We will be left behind if we let "them" (whoever they may be) dictate what we do. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting we leave "them" behind. I'm just suggesting that we don't let them hold us back.

Second, stewardship is crucial. Without getting lost in the details, these social media communication models are much more efficient (not to mention cheaper). In many cases, this is why traditional models can't keep up; they aren't cost effective.

Let's adapt.
